Froggy[/member] Genuine question - is it because you have no depth, or because you do have depth, but it's shite? Kinda the same thing I guess. I mean, you had Bailly, Dalot and Shaw on the bench who you paid a fair whack for, but they're all defenders. You seemed pretty happy that the kids were going to get a big chance this season.

 

Genuine question because I've not really been paying attention. I know you offloaded a couple of the older guys.

 

Sorry missed this.

 

At this stage it's a bit of both. Definitely happy that youngsters were going to get chances, but the frustration now is that we've lost 3 of our best players in McTominay, Pogba and Rashford and the board are not paying an extra £7/8m to secure Fernandes, who wants to come to our club. We are being forced to play Pereira in midfield yet the board won't sanction a move for a midfielder who scored 30+ goals last year. Give me a break.

 

Greenwood has basically scored in every game he has started yet is still finding himself on the bench even though Rashford is injured. At least Williams is getting games. He's so much better than Shaw it's unreal. Gomes is a better option than Pereira yet he's not even getting a sniff. Chong is shite.

Haaland gets another.

 

Talksport said it was a £7 million transfer fee for Red Bull and when he gets sold Dortmond get £20 million with his agent (can't remember his name) getting the rest

Haaland's played about an hour in the Bundesliga and got 5 goals. :lol:

 

If you’re genuinely good it’s like a notch up from the Eredivisie when it comes to defending, most teams play a wide open style.

Watched the mackems vs Doncaster and contracted AIDS as a result. Been nice conversing with you all x

 

Was a shocking game like, the standard was abysmal. Zero quality on the park and neither keeper were ever bothered. We’re fucking shit but it’s a massively lighter shade of brown compared to that tonight.

Never seen so many one-footed players on the same pitch.

Atletico Madrid were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Cultural Leonesa from the third division of La Liga last Thursday.

 

I like the new format for the Copa del Rey. No more 2nd legs until the semi finals and teams from the lower leagues get home advantage which makes matches more exciting. I think the FA Cup needs similar changes to breath life into the competition.

I saw Pep said this week that replays should be scrapped.

 

I think there's an argument for replays to be scrapped if teams are in the same division but replays are very financially rewarding for lower league clubs playing higher division clubs. Plus a great away day for fans

Guardiola also said the League Cup should be scrapped. I'm not sure about that because at the very least you get to see academy players shine. I would probably get rid of semi final 2nd legs because I don't think it is necessary.

 

Whatever makes sense for lower clubs they should be consulted about. Maybe take it on a case by case basis. If some clubs feel they want to beat a big club like Liverpool at home or if it makes financial sense to play the match away from home then let each club individually decide what is best for them.

I think the best suggestion I've heard re replays is to give all ties the option of no replay, but both teams have to agree to it beforehand. So, if it were an all Premier League tie, both teams would most likely agree to one game maximum; but it safeguards the lower teams' potential of a payday/day out. Can't think of any drawbacks with that system.
